Malcolm K McIntosh (Chief Executive)- Abstract
From Foreword pdf page 9: "The most significant event this year has been the completion of the first two stages of the restructuring of CSIRO's management and how CSIRO does business. The outcome so far is a new structure, fewer senior managers, and a more flexible strategic framework to enhance CSIRO's capacity to deliver research outcomes to customers.
The Chief Executive is supported by four Deputy Chief Executives, each of whom is responsible for a set of Sectors of the national economy and its natural resources, a number of Divisions, one or more large sites and one or more corporate management functions.
We now have a much more flexible and responsive arrangement in which Divisions are individually accountable to one of the Deputy Chief Executives, but collaborate with each other in support of work for the 22 Sectors. Sectors are grouped informally into five Alliances to facilitate strategic consideration of the needs of customers, while Divisions retain responsibility for the development and maintenance of CSIRO's scientific skill-base.
